Here's an epic thing I wrote back in 2011 when Bic Runga released her last proper album, Belle. I miss writing long-form stories like this.

The cover of the 2005 Fat Freddy’s Drop album Based On A True Story, featuring a whimsical illustration of the band members fishing from a small boat while being attacked (bloodlessly and picturesquely) by a large green octopus.
The 20th Aotearoa summer since the summer of Based On A True Story.
Technically released at the start of 2005, but it was the end of that year and into early 2006 that it was near-omnipresent, deservedly so needless to say.
